meateater Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yep, that list sounds pretty cool to me but i always felt that the beach boys where a bit cheezy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvey Wallbanger Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I grew up on the oldies station. It's sad to see that music disappearing, as "oldies" stations move towards a 60's through 90's format. Give me some Jay and the Americans, Bobby Darin, Dave Clark 5, Stevie Wonder, Shangri-Las, etc. It's cool to see that there are other relatively young people who are into this stuff. Most of my peers are not feeling the oldies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo Huxtable. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Wishin On A Star - Rose Royce A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke What's Goin On - Marvin Gaye You Really Got A Hold On Me - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Ooh Baby Baby - Smokey Robinson Sideshow - Blue Magic Let's Stay Together - Al Green Love & Happiness - Al Green Natural High - Bloodstone Oh Honey - The Delegation Martha & The Vandellas Be Thankful For What You've Got - William DeVaughn It's All Right - Curtis Mayfield Move On Up - Curtis Mayfield I know these last 4 are moving more into the "Funk" genre rather than MoTown-style oldies, but whatever Funk is related and they're classics nonetheless. If you want to see a 70's blaxploitation flick with a nice soundtrack from the 60's (the movie is set in the 60's), rent/buy Cooley High. I had the opportunity to see live performances in Vegas of Smokey Robinson, Earth Wind & Fire, The Temptations (one original member left), and the Four Tops (one original member). I think Smokey was the best of all of those performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth MontgomeryOner Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I like listening to big band on sundays Motown music seriously makes me depressed Like when I commit suicide I want all that shit Theo just posted, playing in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Not really a fan of Big Band. You talking about Duke Ellington type shit from the 30's/40's? Me and the girl went to this Big Band musical. I was bored outta my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezpot Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Dizzy, Thelonius, Robert John, Miles Davis, etc. are classic. I've heard a few mixes where they speed it up and get it less "Sunday" and it sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Umm I listen to what my Dad listens to. Sabbath Pink Floyd Zepplin. That is my idea of the oldies music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Huxtable. Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 hah! but this time you can't use the "they don't use real instruments" or "they talk about the thug lifestyle" charge, about oldies motown/soul/r&b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yeah I know Theo. This is real R&B we are talking about, not the crap that is passed off on the radio these days (Usher etc). I don't really have anything against this stuff, it fits the mood for certain situations. Oh yeah, my old man listens to Elvis too. That shit is ok, especially when you are drunk and playing it on singstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
